NOTE-
The 1998 5281' with MS 41.1 requires a barometric pressure
sensor input signal for activation of the
LDP check. This sen-
sor is located on the passenger side strut tower
fo~lard of
ABS/ASC hydraulic unit.

Secondary air injection, overview
The secondary air system pumps ambient air into the exhaust
stream afler a cold engine start to reduce the warm up time of
the catalytic converters and to reduces HC and CO emis-
sions. The ECM controls and monitors the secondary air in-
jection system. The secondary air pump operates at a start
temperature of between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F) and
continues to operate for a maximum of
2 minutes at idle
speed.
The electric air pump draws in ambient air and supplies it to
the divertervalve. The vacuum ventvalve (solenoid) switches
vacuum to open the divertervalve when activated by the
ECM. Once opened, the diverter valve allows air to be
pumped into the exhaust stream.

Engine control module (ECM),
removing and installing
The ECM uses stored functions and processing programs to
process the input signals from the sensors. These input sig-
nals are used to calculate the control (output) signals to the
actuators
(e.g., ignition coils, injectors).
NOTE-
Consult an authorized BMW dealer before replacing the
ECM.
- Disconnect negative (-) battery cable. Wait approximately
one minute.
Prior to disconnecting the
battely, read the battery discon-
nection cautions in
001 General Warnings and Cautions.
Access engine control module (ECM):
Release interior ventilation filter cover latch
(A) and re-
move cover.
Release plastic locking tab
(B).
Rotate air duct inward (arrow) to unloclc from bulk head
and remove duct.
Release spring lock
(C) to remove lower filter housing.
Slide filter housing away from inner fender to remove.
- Remove electrical box (E-box) cover fasteners and remove
cover.
- If testing ECM or connected components, use breakout box
to allow tests to be made with connector attached to the
ECM. This prevents damage to small terminals in connector.

- As an alternative, harness connector housing can be sepa-
rated so that electrical
checlts can be made from backof con-
nector.
4 If replacing ECM, disconnect control module harness con-
nector (arrow) by releasing fastener and pivoting connector
up and
off ECM.
CAUTION-
Be sure ignition is OFF before disconnecting or reconnecting
DME system components.
- Remove ECM from retaining brackets and lift off holder.
- Installation is reverse of removal.
- Before attempting to start engine, use BMW service tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTI or equivalent:
- Code replacement ECM with application information (i.e.
engine code, transmission type, etc.).
Align ECM to EWS (electronic immobilizer).
Siemens MS 41.1 ECM pin assignments
ECM pin assignments are given in Table b. For engine man-
agement system schematics, see ELE Electrical Wiring
Di-
agrams.
CAUTION-
a Always wait at least one minute after turning off the ignition
before removing the connector from the
ECM. If the con-
nector is removed before this time, residual power
in the
system relay may damage the
ECM.
Always connect or disconnect the control module con-
nector and meter probes with the ignition
off
When malting checks at the ECM itself, a breakout box
should be used to allow tests to be made with the connector
attached to the ECM. This also prevents damage to the small
terminals in the connector. As an alternative, the harness
connector housing can be separated so that electrical checlts
can be made from the back of the connector.

SIEMENS MIS 42.0 AND 43.0
When system faults are detected, a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) is stored in the engine control module (ECM). The MIL
also illuminates
if an emissions-related fault is detected.
When faults arise, or
if the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is
illuminated, begin troubleshooting by connecting BMW ser-
vice tester
DISplus, MoDiC, GTI or equivalent scan tool. The
capabilities of OBD
II software has the potential to save hours
of diagnostic time and to help avoid incorrect component re-
placement and possible damage to system components.
CAUTION-
* The tests in this section may set fault codes (DTCs) in tlie
ECM and illuminate the MIL. After all testing is completed,
access and clear DTC fault
memory using an OBD I/ or
BMW compatible scan tool. See
OBD On-Board Diag-
nostics.
Only use a
dgital multimeter for electrical tests.
Relay positions can vary. Be sure to confirm
relayposi-
tion by identifying the wiring in the socket using the wir-
ing diagrams found in
ELE Electrical Wiring
Diagrams.
NOTE-
- OBD I1 fault memory. (including an illuminated MIL! can
only be reset using the special scan tool. Removing the
connector from the ECM or disconnecting the battery will
not erase the fault memory.
The BMW-dedicated 20-pin diagnostic
linlc connector
(DLC) is in the right rear of the engine compartment The
20-pin DLC is discontinued on models after
6/2000.
The 1 &pin OBD I1 diagnostic connector (arrow) is located
inside the car on the lower left dash panel.
The MS
42.0 and MS 43.0 systems manage the following
functions.

Electronic throttle
Hot film mass air flow (MAF) sensor
